Alon Schuster, Mayor of the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, addressed the renewed rocket fire from Gaza during a ceasefire Tuesday afternoon, saying that, "We need to respond strongly as if there were no peace talks while continuing attempts to reach a long-term agreement as if there was no rocket fire."

According to Schuster, "A diplomatic agreement under international protection, which centers on 'stopping the aggression and disarming in the future', is a significant Israeli interest."
